Great Midwest Inns for the Holidays
Escape your busy holiday preparations with a peaceful weekend at one of these festive inns, where the owners make sure every detail sparkles with seasonal cheer.
Inn at Irish Hollow
The world slips away when you pull into this 500-acre property outside Galena, Illinois. Choose among luxuriously appointed cottages and guest rooms—each with its own Christmas tree during the holiday season. Many guests enjoy horse-drawn sleigh rides or use the snowshoes equipped from their cottages for a snowy hike on the estate's grounds. The menu, which the owners describe as “country gourmet,” is full of holiday spirit, too: sweet potato bread pudding, brandy-soaked cake and Christmas Eve corn crab cakes.
